Local Heroes: Robert Comploj / Glashütte Comploj

The Altstadt Vienna lies in the middle of the trendy 7th district. Or as others call it: Boboville. Our portraits "local heroes" provide you with an insight of the real Vienna. Experienced by real Viennese. Our neighbours.

The glassblower about grumblers and the beauty of a refinery.

What do you like about the area? What is your relation to the 7th district?It happened more or less by accident, that i opened my shop in the 7th district. After a one year search for the right property, we found this former supermarket in Westbahnstrasse. We couldn’t wish for a better location! Westbahnstrasse is very diverse and has a pleasant atmosphere.

What can one buy in your store? What is your passion behind it?We offer hand-blown glass – from drinking glass to art object. What’s so fascinating about it is the craft itself. I recommend to drop by and watch us at work, then you’ll instantly understand the passion and fascination about it.

We dedicate our newest suite to a glorious idea. The United Nations. With one of the four headquarters of the UN sitting in Vienna, the city stands for cosmopolitanism and multilateralism. Characteristics to be cherished these days. moremore
